This chapter has two flashbacks of when the group discovers Damian being OCD.
Flashback: Mike's Mess
As soon as Damian walked into Mikes room, he felt the sudden urge to clean the entire room. To someone else it looked like it was just unorganized with some clothes on the floor. To Damian it looked like a war zone. "You okay bro?" Mike's voice brought Damian back into reality.
"How do you stay in the room? This place looks like a war zone!" Mike shrugged as he looked around his room. To him it wasn't that messy.
"It's not that bad. It could be worse."
"Worse? Mike, I would have to strangle you if your room was any worse than this." Damian started picking up the clothes off of the floor.
"What are you doing?"
"Cleaning. Do you want me …show more content…
Beth and Mike already knew." No one knew what to say next. Damian was starting to imagine the worst possible reactions they would have. "Look, I know it's kind of...weird, but I'm still normal like you guys. I'm just always paranoid, and anxious. I've been like this ever sense I was a kid. I don't want you guys to think of me any differently. If you think I'm too weird or whatever, then I understand."
"Why wouldn't we be friends with you? No one is perfect." Ashley said as she gave him a smile to make him feel better. The others smiled at him as well.
"Yeah man, you're our friend. Nothing will change that." Josh said before giving Damian a hug. Josh kind of knew how Damian felt. He knew the fear of being alone just because of they way they happened to act. Sure it might be different reasons, but Josh wanted Damian to know that he wasn't alone.
Everyone agreed with Josh. They've all became close to Damian over the time he's been here. He was important to all of them in different ways and they didn't want him to feel like he was the odd guy.
Damian felt better once they said that. He's never had friends that didn't make fun of him for being OCD. He told them about how he was taking medication and went to therapy once a week. He felt that he didn't have to keep any secrets from them
